[English]

Look at him, man.

Beautiful.

Look. We just gotta do it already.

- Ask them out? - No, we gotta grow our beards out.

Look, we always talk about it but we never do it.

And what better time than "No Shave November" to grow our beards.

- Why do you want to grow beards so bad? - Why wouldn't you?

It makes you manlier; people take you more seriously.

If you're driving a car, and your other hand gets itchy, you can use your beard, scratch it, and keep driving.

- Girls don't like beards. - Actually, it's been proven that girls find guys with beards more attractive. It's science.

- What about food? When you eat, there's always stuff all over your face.

- Yea so you can have something for later. - It's been proven that there's feces in beards.

- Yea, because they are the (bleep).

- Look I'm telling you beards make people better. Okay?

And isn't it about time we find out what's the fuss is all about?

- Okay, fine. But..I don't know if I can grow a beard.

- Just don't shave. How hard is that?

- Some guys just can't grow beards. It grows out patchy; it doesn't grow full.

- I mean, how would you know, though?

Like you never-- we never did it so- I mean there's only one way to find out.

Okay. I mean how hard can it be?

Okay ya, so not that easy.

- Ya.

Three months in the works look at our faces.

Barely any Girth so many spaces

And i look around

Theres so much hair

Facial scarves there everywhere

- Oh, my God, dude; we did it!

Hell ya! We look good. - I love it!

Our beards are amazing! - This looks like a real beard. - I'm so proud of us.

- We look like men. - We are men.

- Pshh, haha.

Are you guys kidding me?

That is pathetic, guys.

What are you guys, like twelve? *laughs*

Oh my God.

- It's not a beard at all, dude.

- You could just cut it.

- You guys need some, " Miracle Grow?"

- I consider it a beard. - It smells like a beard.

- Kinda looks like a beard. - Dude, look at those patches all over your face.

You can see your skin.

- I can barely see it from here. Give me some binoculars.

- What. You guys are going through "prebeardy?"

Like. Like. Puberty.

Just to clear that up.

- We don't have to take this from them. We need to be proud of our beards.

- Ya.. Ya! YA we do!

We have beards. - Ya.

- Ya in fact-

Oh ya. Lets see who has the "prebeard" now.

Wait..

- What the.. - How did you..

Wow. Can't believe that actually worked.

- It totally worked.

- Ya. How do you think everyone else gets their beards.

Save this one for Angelina.

- TEEHEE

Hey guys! Thank you guys so much for watching.

So if you guys want to buy this song, or if you just wanna help out

um..all the sales David and I are going to be donating to the, "November Foundation"

They research a bunch of testicular cancer, prostate cancer. A bunch of men's health issues.

Obviously, I think iTunes takes a little cut of whatever it is we sell.

But all the money that would normally come to David and I is all gonna be 100% donated.

The charity rating is really good. So don't worry the money is put to good use.

If you don't want the song that's perfectly fine. I'll see you guys next week.

Thank you so much for watching!

I don't have an outro.

I already did the TEEHEE so now what.

*Preb-* TEEHEE
